Through statistical analysis and Machine Learning (ML), we will assess the efficiency of robots&#8217; paths and their relation to pedestrian infrastructure, interactions with different transport users (such as walkers, cyclists, e-scooters, and motorized vehicles), and other variables (e.g., weather).<\/p>\n<p>A crucial task of the project will focus on integrating prediction models with routing algorithms to discover more effective routing solutions. Another task will involve identifying Walkability KPIs\u201d to describe sidewalk mobility conditions based on the data collected.<\/p>\n<p><em>Background<br \/>\n<\/em>Sidewalk robots appear to be a promising solution for City Logistics. Hubs, retail locations, and even retrofitted vehicles might dispatch them for short-range trips and partially replace standard, less sustainable delivery methods. The ISMIR project aims to develop a more comprehensive understanding of sidewalk robot delivery in realistic scenarios. The investigation of sidewalk navigation challenges will also provide the opportunity to explore pedestrian infrastructure and sidewalk mobility from a novel perspective.<\/p>\n<p><em>Crossdisciplinary collaboration<br \/>\n<\/em>The researchers in the team represent the KTH School of\u00a0 Architecture and the Built Environment, Department of Urban Planning &amp; Environment, and KTH School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, Department of Intelligent Systems.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Watch the recorded presentation at the Digitalize in
